Comparison Of Spice And Network C Simulation Models Using The Cam System, Wen-Tsung Yen Nov 1991

Comparison Of Spice And Network C Simulation Models Using The Cam System, Wen-Tsung Yen

Dissertations and Theses

The performance of SPICE and Network C (NC) circuit simulator when simulating MOS transistor circuits has been investigated and compared. SPICE analog model, NC analog model and NC MOS_PWL model are the three MOS transistor models being used. The comparison between SPICE and NC includes five areas. They are MOS transistor model, circuit analysis and computational methods, limitation on the ability to simulate circuits containing the MOS transistor diode configuration, run time and the ability to build new circuit component models using derived equations.

The prototype circuit being used is the Content-Addressable Memory (CAM) circuit. The CAM circuit is a …
